Pug of the Month:
Billie Jean
Where is Billie Jean from?
Billie Jean was born in Indiana where her her mom is originally from. She now lives in the amusement park capital of the world...Orlando, Florida!
What made you decide that you would like a pug?
It's actually funny. When I was in my late teens, I was a huge Backstreet Boy fan. Nick Carter, a member of the Backstreet Boys, had two pugs that he travelled with. Since then, I have always loved pugs. Their sweet faces and even sweeter demeanor won over my heart and I never looked back... :)
Why did you name her Billie Jean?
She was born with one white paw like a Michael Jackson glove. I knew it was the perfect way to pay tribute to one of my favorite musical artists, but also give her name that's totally unique and undoubtedly fits her personality!
How did you meet? /How long have you had her?
There was an ad in the local paper for pug puppies. My mom knew how badly I wanted one, and with my 30th birthday coming up, she decided it was the perfect timing and the perfect gift! We got her from a couple who owned two pugs which they had bred. She was 5 weeks old at the time and I've had her ever since. She just turned 6 on May 28th!
What is the best thing about living with a pug?
I am convinced that pugs come with an innate ability to calm those around them. I call it her "Magic Snuggles" power. She is loyal, loving, compassionate, and a consummate companion!
Does she have any unusual habits?
When anyone comes through the door, she absolutely MUST grab one of her "babies" and proceeds to circle around them while snorting. We like to call it her "Baby Parade"...and she is Grand Marshall at every time!
Likes:
FOOD, her "babies", playing ball with her dad, snuggling with her her mom, belly rubs, and long naps.
Dislikes:
Rain, wet grass, having her ears and wrinkles cleaned, and she HATES getting her nails clipped!
